Tveter Leaves Baltimore with a 10th and a 12th And Looks Forward to Next Weekend’s Races
BALTIMORE, Sept. 3 — Ryan Tveter, a rookie in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear, strives for a top-10 finish or better in each of his races. Despite a host of challenges he accomplished that benchmark on Saturday in the first half of a doubleheader at the Grand Prix of Baltimore presented by SRT, and he was only two positions off that goal in the second half of the doubleheader on Sunday with a 12th-place finish.
Tveter, of Oyster Bay, N.Y., had one of the nicest-looking cars in the paddock with CIMIER Swiss Watches joining another one of his partners, Motorola Mobility LLC, for the livery on his Team GDT No. 33.

Charlotte, NC 9/3/12- It’s hard to believe that a driver in his rookie season in a series as tough as the PASS South super late model series would be rewriting history books, but that’s exactly what Kyle Grissom has done so far in 2012. Grissom, from nearby Concord, North Carolina, made it three wins in a row Saturday night at the Caraway Speedway in Sophia, North Carolina. Grissom’s win was his fifth of the year, breaking the record for most wins in a single season by a PASS South Series driver previously held by Ben Rowe who won four events in 2009 in route to the series championship that same season.
